I cant really tell by the pics, but is the snowflake front a recall wheel?
I cant see the updated ribs in the pics. Just curious?

I dig Marks bags! Just havent seen enough money at one time to get a set! Looks GREAT!

Perches are /7 - I think, it's an R65 master cylinder near as I can tell. Headlight bucket and speedo/tach from a /5. New Denfield solo saddle, new fender rack (getting a clip-on Denfield pillion for it), repop Albert ranblebar mounted mirror. I did a thread when I got it, might dust that off with a new post, you can check out more there. SOrry for the hijack - I love this bike, will talk about it all day.

This was about bags, right? Luxor Marine repops of Enduro bags - the guy does a very nice job, and the bags are perfect for the /2 imo. They're still on, and I am definitely not a bag man. On bikes, anyway .

I actually have a set of these mounts "NOS" for a Duo Glide / Pan head and this picture just reminded me I had them! Maybe I should buy some repop Bubbles and pick up an old DUO Glide for shits and giggles!

By the way, note the little snap strap for the handle the straps in down and keeps it from rattling. On the top case I'm using the handle to hold my guitar on, but you can see the little strap....they thought of everything....

Typical Buco mounts had poor chrome on the seen side and the bottom sides were just lightly chromed. To do it period correct you will have to have them re-chromed. If you gonna just paint them? Powder coat them? They will have to be media blasted. Powder coating them in the new pewter color probably be the ticket?

These are with Honda CA77 Dream 305 mounts (bike slightly visible in back) and I need a way to strip, smooth and repaint these in white to match - any advice?
